Durability is a concern due to the exposed soft FuelCell foam, which compresses and loses cushioning effectiveness after extended mileage (notably beyond 9 miles/15 km). The outsole traction is average, and wear patterns suggest the shoe is best reserved for road use and shorter to moderate distances.
